How to Find Something You Like to Do
Finding something you enjoy doing can improve the quality of your life and reduce your stress levels. It can also help you make friends or even provide a purpose in your life. Then how can you find something you like to do?
Some hobbies, such as albums and gardening, can take up a lot of time. Other hobbies, such as video games or reading, can be done at your own pace and do not require any extended time.
Research the hobby or activity you would like to get involved in. Find out how much time and money you will need to devote to starting and continuing the activity. For example, some sports—related interests might require special equipment. Your local library or phone book should also have information on hobbies and activities in your area.
Talk with other people who are involved in some of the activities you are interested in. Ask if you could tag along (跟随) to a meeting or spend some time with this person while he is involved in his hobby to see if it is something you would enjoy.
Challenge yourself to try a new activity you are interested in for a week or so. Allow yourself to learn about the hobby and determine whether you will enjoy the activity or not.
A. Think about how a hobby benefits you.
B. A hobby can connect you with other people.
C. Take a chance on a hobby and see how it turns out.
D. Think about how much free time you can devote to a hobby.
E. You can find information about hobbies and interests on Find My Hobby's website.
F. You can get first—hand knowledge by interviewing someone about a particular hobby.
G. It takes a long time and energy to decide whether a particular hobby is right for you.
A. When a child should learn to read B. Why it is fun to teach a child reading C. What if a child has reading problems D. How you prepare a young child for reading E. What is the best way to teach a child reading F. Whether reading early promises later achievements |
⑴ {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Learning to read early has become one of those indicators — in parents' minds at least – that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.
⑵{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.
⑶{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the “whole language" method and the "phonic" method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a "p" and another a "b". Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written.
⑷{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children. Besides reading to them, parents can start "ear training" their child by playing thyme games. This develops the child's ability to recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.
⑸{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning disabilities.

How to Save Your Laptop after a Spill
Spilling coffee, juice or water on a laptop might seem like the end of the world, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Here's a five-step plan to rescue a laptop after a liquid spill.
Switch the laptop off
Shut down the laptop. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Remove the power cord, unplug any peripherals and remove the battery. The biggest danger at this time is the device shorting out.
Remove excess liquid from the laptop
Remove excess liquid with a soft cloth or paper towels. Do not use a wiping motion as that just spreads the liquid further.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
With the laptop facing away from you, move it from side to side and from front to back in a gentle rocking motion to help the liquid to escape from all four sides.
Use compressed air to dry the laptop
Make sure that you have removed all excess liquid. Then, if you have one, use a can of compressed air to help dry the laptop. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Keep the dryer moving all the time and hold it at least 20cm above the laptop.
Leave laptop to completely dry out
Leave the laptop opened in an inverted "V" shape in a warm area, to completely dry out. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Wait for 24 hours or longer, making sure the keyboard is completely dry, before reinstalling the battery and peripherals.
If you must replace your laptop keyboard, please remember: most laptop keyboards can be replaced by a technician, or you can purchase a new USB or wireless keyboard to use with the laptop.

A. Remember past successes. B. The written word is very powerful. C. Don't forget about buying yourself a gift. D. Don't just write them down and leave them like that. E. Moreover, talking about your goals with others helps a lot. F. However, with a little effort we can learn how to increase our motivation. G. It could be something as simple as sweets or something greater like a vacation. |
Finding motivation (动机), especially study motivation, is not always easy. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are some ways of doing it.
Offer yourself encouragement.
Yes, you should give yourself a prize or some kind of reward when you've done a task. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Remember, you have to know the exact conditions that you need to meet in order to receive the wonderful cake.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
You need to feel confident about your studies. I am sure all of us have succeeded on several occasions. Remember these past successes and you will feel more motivated to continue!
Write down your goals.
Don't just think about them, don't just say them, write them down! {#blank#}4{#/blank#} And that's why you find salesmen always want you to write something down before you actually buy something. By writing your name down, you are in a sense giving your support for their cause. If then you are asked to buy what they are selling, you are more likely to do that than if you hadn't signed the paper!
See your goals.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Put them up on the wall and paste (粘贴) small post-it notes all over the place. You have to keep on reminding yourself of the purpose behind your studies and what type of results you're expecting to achieve.
